This works out perfect. This week - good game - clinch playoff spot. Next game - bad game - no effect on standings Eastern semi - good game - win that one Eastern final - bad game - sneak out with a win because Vaval scores 3 return TDs Grey cup - good game we win Easy.

Hoping for it to clear up a bit. That's my 40th and I wanna tailgate!!

If we can't beat the Riders with Mair at QB, we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.

Aside from the Hamilton game, Mitchell hasn't really been targeted. So no downside in throwing Wheatfall in there IMO. Losing Demski is a huge loss for the team though and for Zach.

So in summary our Blue Bombers are East division champs winning the Grey Cup handily against who cares. Nice.

I dunno, 2007 kinda sucked ass

You guys are crazy. F**k everyone who isnt a Blue Bomber player/fan. If we dont win the Grey Cup i hope it gets lost and no one wins it.

I think it's more of just an inconsistent thing...it's more that we are not a good team thing....and have no depth...questionable coaching.....which gives you inconsistency like issues. Technically we are quite consistent...the game like the Hammy one...and maybe one other this yr were just the anomaly,

And even more interesting to see which blue bomber squad shows up.

Another big imp G trying to translate to T. Played some DL as a redshirt freshman. Next year, he started all 12 games, first 4 at rt rest at guard. Next year, he played in 6 games, starting just 2, one at each guard spot. His last 2 years, he really excelled. He allowed 1 sack each year on 270 and 428 passing snaps. Had a stellar 95+% win rate on passing downs.

I'm ok with Hamilton going on a streak and winning it all. It would be nice for the community to finally get a win after all these years.

I do like the way the Als D plays.

I love this on every level, sincerely....

Plus that would mean the Riders would be in our dressing room. The thought of watching them beat us in the GC at home and then going to celebrate in our room is just gross - no thank you.

He's been overlooked badly on a few routes, though. Idk, Zach/the system really seems like oil and water with Mitchell for some reason. I could see him really lighting it up next year with another team, especially against us. I have no expectations for Wheatfall. I'd rather see us work in Echols, but it isn't gonna happen.

Cobb and Wheatfall in for Demski and Mitchell seems like a significant downgrade... Good to get Houston back on D.

Bad teams always have a good game or two every season. We are a bad team.

BC, I like Buck and Rourke. Meanwhile Alexander and Maas, not likeable.

Highest paid QB showing up 1 out of every 6 games isn’t a recipe for success

Only 3 return TDs for Vaval? Why limit him?

Zach is making 600 k and pretty much every other starter makes less and in some cases a lot less. He's making too much money.

Is Zach calling plays for him to pass the ball 60 yards when he can’t throw it 30 yards consistently cuz I doubt it. The OC is a huge problem. Hogan goes and I’ll bet Zach gets better. He does get happy feet tho but I would also behind this oline. Do ppl watch kolo? Cuz he snaps it to Zach then does nothing. There’s immediate pressure right up the middle most times.

You take that back right now!

I have zero faith in this team. And on multiple levels. I hate saying that, but….

It would be poetic justice for Hamilton to win it here

I like Doman, I like what they are trying to do in that market, I like a bunch of their football guys. McDairmid, Bourgoin, Young, Ringmaiden, etc. I like Rourke a lot more after he spoke out against the rules. They got a bunch of guys on the roster I like. I love the way they rebuilt that DL, too. I love Buck the person; I had high hopes for him as a football mind and coach. I could see his last year here being what it was due to how the mafia works. Really don't like Awe and a couple of other guys.

Yep, it's matt nichols all over again. The final move of any deep route is coming back to the ball and not by a small adjustment either. Difference is, nichols could manage the game. If we do that like we did vs hamilton, we got a chance. If we don't, we've got no shot.

I am also leaning on a BC Mtrl Cup this year......I got to know Buck outside of football, and he is a really nice family guy, so based on that I hope if we don't win it BC does for Buck.

Wilson's circus catch too....nicely underthrown....a lot of the balls that were caight this yr that were deep...even deeper intermediate were underthrow, and rarely hitting a guy in stride And no...they were not backside shoulder tosses like TSN likes to yammer on about...Thats a totally different kinda pass, and thrown with a trajectory to them...not floating ducks dropping out of the sky like they were shot

I still cant wrap my head around the fact that anyone actually even watches this show, let alone be upset enough to take out an ad about new cast members. I mean a dog and a cop crime fighting show?? Sounds like Turner and Hooch.

Last I checked, the weather appeared like it'll be a factor as well on Friday night...

Best pass was the long one to BO that was slightly tipped. That one was a changer.

I did write Argos suck.

Back breaking int right before the half (how many times have we seen that this year?) Followed up with the useless 3rd quarter... not a good look but been the way this team has rolled all season

He's a merciful OShea!

This kind of mentality is exactly what caused the mess we’re in right now. What kind of hopium are you huffing that makes you think Zach can get it done? Just watch him. His arm is toast. The majority of his throws are either hospital balls or complete ducks and you think it’s the personnel around him or the play calling? It doesn’t even matter if you factor in all the other struggles on offense, there’s not many throws out there that he is making confidently anymore regardless of play call, protection or personnel.

I agree but also have been all over Younger and this stupid scheme we use to let QB's sit back and pick the team apart....never gonna win playoff ball or league games for that matter consistently doing the no pressure thing, and on top of that playing it with guys on many snaps who cant get off a block let alone creamy any disturbance to the run game It was figured out mid point of last yr, and constantly this yr....sire it gets some famc stats in some regards....but it also gasses the defence for when it matters, and also keeps our offence off the field when we just give up 2nd and long conversions over and over.....If we had a lights out offence that put up points at will...from anywhere on the field then maybe yeah...it could see lasting success.....but as it is now....no hope in hell...and the record of the team from end of 2023 through to now is pretty proof positive

I’m gonna go a different route after thinking about this a minute. 1. Linebackers in general. - rankin was carrrying jones and kyrie for multiple yards. 2. Zach - you just can’t under throw balls like that and throw into double coverage. Seems like the actions of a man who knows his on field actions have no consequences cuz he knows Osh will play him even with a broken hand. 3. younger - I’m sorry but the 3rd and 2 65 yard untouched rankin run was probably the real turning point. Ppl blame the O but our D gave up a TD untouched 65 yards on 3rd and 2. People love to go after the OC or head coach but constantly let younger off the hook eventho the D has been as much of a joke as the O and honestly even more so cuz when the O actually does score the D gives it right back the next drive. It’s a theme. Our D sucks. Might not allow a lot of points but sure give up the yards. It’s so passive it’s insane. HM to Ontaria Wilson who really probably was the reason we make the playoffs over Edmonton with his ridiculous catch. HH Vaval. Dude is rookie of the year in the league. It’s a joke if he doesn’t win it.

All I know is just get in, and anything can happen. I don’t think there are any true favourites this year. BC gonna have to play in the cold in Regina, they have shown they can’t do that. If BC was first then maybe they ride the dome to the finals here but they will play outside in cold weather if they win their game. Montreal is a Davis Alexander injury away from being crap. Sask? As if anyone trusts Trevor Harris in October and November. There are no favourites

I see a bc and mtl final as well... Hamilton would be nice tho to break their drought. Be funny too with all our cast offs being deemed not good enough...not worth the price...or alienated by this staff...be nice kick to the onions for the tall foreheads here

It would be bittersweet too... Goveia not being around to see it would be a shame.

Picks this week must be in by Friday @ 7PM. Current standings below:

Again, this is the "Non Bombers" thread... So just looking for discussion about the other teams remaining...

change, that’s what i’m hoping for. For other teams, I’d say hamilton. Montreal is tough and better coached, but i’m not betting on davis in the playoffs offs. I’m also not banking on bc stepping up in a tough game.

Practice?!?! We don' need no stinkin' practice.

Collaros and maybe the OC are assuming that he still has the arm strength and accuracy of 5 years ago. He doesn't, at least on a consistent basis.

Stewart Johnston is going to head out to the field with an impact wrench and move the goalposts to the back of the endzone for the halftime show. And you will feel the excitement level increase.

Ok, I could suggest taking half an hour to watch the condensed game, with cooler heads Most of the first half was not bad at all. They were using BO effectively & completing some intermediate passes. O was pretty similar to what it was 2 weeks ago After the TD on 3 and 4...ZC started mostly chucking deep and the rest was all too predictable
